Location:
Suicide Beach is located just south of St Helens on Tasmania’s north-east coast, near the mouth of Georges Bay. This small, secluded beach is known for its white sand, clear waters, and peaceful atmosphere, making it a quieter alternative to the busier St Helens beaches.
How to get there:
From St Helens, head south along the Tasman Highway (A3) and turn onto the local access road toward the beach. There’s a small parking area nearby, and the beach is easily reached via a short walking track from the car park.
Is it suitable for swimming?
Yes — the waters are generally calm and suitable for swimming, especially in summer. However, always check local conditions as tides and currents can change.
Can you see wildlife there?
You can often see seabirds along the shoreline, and dolphins are occasionally spotted offshore. The surrounding bushland may also reveal native birds and small marsupials.
Dogs allowed:
Dogs are allowed on leash.
